Let 's Get At It

From Star Parker's Liberals love the sin and hate the sinner:

Coverage by the mainstream media of the Larry Craig scandal confirms again that liberals love the sin and hate the sinner. They've got both the Idaho senator and the conservative values he has supported in their crosshairs.

Perhaps it's relevant to take a moment and recall that the need for biblical guidance comes from the proclivity to sin. You don't need a map if you're hardwired to know where you're going.

But, for those on the left, a map isn't necessary because it doesn't matter where we are going. For them, a man going astray is proof that having a destination, and rules for getting there, is hypocrisy. The problem is not the fallen man but having rules to begin with.

That's the world, that's worldly. It doesn't just seem like things are upside down in this country, in the world. They are. And it's nothing new.

In dealing with the text "They that have turned the world upside down have come hither also (Acts 17:6)," a preacher of rare insight made use of three divisions. First, the world is upside down anyhow; secondly, to turn it upside down therefore is to turn it right side up; thirdly, let us get at it. That is the whole philosophy of our subject. Christ found men upside down. He came to invert the order and put them on their feet, that they might see things in their true relationship, and live as they ought.

This is preliminary only. There is much to do after a man's life has been changed, after it has become articulate, but nothing can be done till that is done.
